New guy here!
Been lurking for weeks, reading, researching & soaking up as much as possible. I'm from Louisiana, and have been hooked on smoking meats since the moment I was given an old hand-me-down off set from my dad.
I initially found this forum for cooking tips and techniques, etc. to help me from one cookout to the next. I had no real desire to get a new smoker, until now.
While the old smoker has been great, it's been a struggle to say the least. Constantly tinkering with ways to control heat and temps caused my family to get me a new smoker for Christmas. I'm not the kind of person to turn up my nose when it comes to gift giving (thought that counts, right?), but when my new Kingsford Sierra was presented, it was hard. Real Hard. But I did my due diligence, seasoned, modified, sealed and started cooking with it. And, I hate it. With a passion. So I started looking, shopping, researching for a new smoker. Still haven't made up my mind, but I did find a used Lang, 36" patio model. I know what the new ones sell for, and never really envisioned owning one until today. I'm making a road trip to MS tomorrow, and if what I am seeing in the pics is what I find when I get there...it will be mine!!
I'll keep y'all posted. Thanks for the time, and looking forward to whats to come...
